I have a set of 33x9.5x15s on stock aluminum wheels on my 93 F150 4x4. The only place they rub is the plastic air dam under the bumper -- and they only touch it -- did not have to trim it. They are wearing well and have excellent traction in snow and mud.

I had to reprogram the speedo to correct for the change, but that wasn't bad (its on the site somewhere with full directions).

They do not pose any interference with the suspension and at full air pressure have helped mileage some. I have 3.55 gears in the truck so they aren't really a dog. Runs good and helps keep rpm's down at cruise in fifth gear.

Fifth gear!? Lol the AOD or E4OD for that matter only has 4. It usually goes 1,2,3, torque converter locks up, and then overdrive (4). For years I thought the TC locking up was another gear!
